Being atheist only means 'without god'. So, one can be atheist and believe in spirits and ghost (though often atheists tend to be skeptic towards those things too). I hate to say it, seeing and hearing things that others cannot, is never a good thing.
That's why I am asking lol. I was pretty skeptical, but that threw me off I do know it gave me a really cool idea for a novel, so there is a good chance I will be writing one based on the stories she's been telling me, with some stuff I'm thinking of. Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it

Being an atheist just means you don't believe in God, which still leaves the door open for some pretty absurd stuff. Demon possession is one of those examples of absurd things you can believe in without belief in God.
Me, my simple rule of thumb is to be critical of everything; if it's legit, it can stand up to my questioning. If it's silly superstition, it usually doesn't take long to realize that.
Me, I'm kinda curious what her description of Baal was. I mean, that's one of those things that seems to get a different look depending who's describing him (although, the generic modern day demon is usually pretty damn common).
She mentioned that he stunk (but she says that with all demons) that he was huuuuuge, and that he had a balding head, kind of like a jackal with scabies. I don't remember the rest of that one, but there was another one she mentioned that looked a lot like a grey fetus with long arms and legs. She also mentioned that the angels were a lot scarier, and that Gabriel looked like a super bright light lol
